Newman, Arnold (Abner)
born March 3, 1918, New York, N.Y., U.S.

U.S. photographer.

He studied art at the University of Miami, then worked in the photography studio of a Miami department store. In 1946 he opened his own studio in New York City, where he specialized in portraits of well-known people posed in settings associated with their work. His "environmental portraiture" greatly influenced 20th-century portrait photography.
